Lead 0-to-1 product development for clients by conducting discovery, defining product strategy and roadmaps, prioritizing backlogs, managing agile delivery, and communicating with founders and stakeholders. Partner with design and engineering teams on AI-enabled products, translate ambiguous objectives into testable hypotheses and deliverables, manage scope and timelines, and guide clients toward effective product decisions.
What You’ll Do
As a Product Manager at Wednesday, you’ll lead 0-to-1 product development efforts for our clients — often founders or early product teams trying to build from scratch or unlock traction.
This is not a classic delivery PM role. You’ll be responsible for shaping the product, not just shipping it. You’ll run discovery, define the roadmap, manage the delivery process, and communicate with clients on a near-daily basis.
You’ll work closely with design and engineering leads to turn ideas into working software — especially in the context of AI-enabled products.
Your Responsibilities
Discovery & Product Strategy
- Lead discovery workshops to unpack client goals, user pain points, and market realities.
- Define product scope and user journeys before a single line of code is written.
- Translate business problems into sharp product direction using frameworks like JTBD, opportunity trees, etc.
Execution & Delivery
- Create and prioritize backlogs, define success metrics, and run weekly sprints.
- Manage trade-offs between scope, speed, and technical constraints — while still shipping value every sprint.
- Facilitate agile rituals (standups, retros, sprint reviews) across cross-functional teams.
Client Partnership
- Act as the main point of contact for the client — building trust through clarity, responsiveness, and insight.
- Push back when needed, guide conversations toward real outcomes, and help clients make tough decisions.
Product Thinking
- Ask hard questions: Do we need this feature? Does this solve a real user pain? Is this the fastest way to test the idea?
- Turn ambiguous ideas into testable hypotheses, and back decisions with data when available.
AI-Native Mindset
- Be comfortable working with teams building AI-enabled products — from LLM-powered workflows to automation tools.
- You don’t need to code models, but you must understand the possibilities and limitations of current AI tech.
Requirements
- 6+ years of product management experience, preferably within a digital services or consulting environment.
- Proven track record of taking at least one product from concept to launch (0–1), ideally in a client-facing setting.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to confidently engage with both technical teams and business stakeholders, including founders and engineers.
- Demonstrated ability to translate abstract client objectives into actionable roadmaps and product deliverables.
- Experience working on or adjacent to AI or data-driven products, with an understanding of their unique challenges and opportunities.
- Exceptional organizational skills with a strong grasp of scope, budgeting, and timeline management, while maintaining strategic oversight.
- Proficiency with modern product and collaboration tools such as JIRA, Notion, and Figma.
Benefits
- Creative Freedom: A culture that empowers you to innovate and take bold product decisions for client projects.
- Comprehensive Healthcare: Extensive health coverage for you and your family.
- Tailored Growth Plans: Personalized professional development programs to help you achieve your career aspirations.

What you need to know about the Pune Tech Scene
Once a far-out concept, AI is now a tangible force reshaping industries and economies worldwide. While its adoption will automate some roles, AI has created more jobs than it has displaced, with an expected 97 million new roles to be created in the coming years. This is especially true in cities like Pune, which is emerging as a hub for companies eager to leverage this technology to develop solutions that simplify and improve lives in sectors such as education, healthcare, finance, e-commerce and more.
